[Chorus]

Me and all my bros straight hangin' (Straight hangin')

Junkie's lurkin' 'cause the dope man stay slangin' (Stay slangin')

Fools twistin' fingers, yeah them niggas gang bangin' (Gang bangin')

Everybody doin' somethin', we just out here maintainin' (Ma-Ma-Maintainin')

My nigga we just tryna' maintain (Tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain, tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain)

Keep it G and never change lanes

We just tryna' maintain (Tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain, tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain)

I hope you niggas on the same thing


[Verse 1]

Now let me take you back to when I had an '83 Impala

Just got paid so I got a couple dollars

Pullin' up inside the cab, 'bout to grab a fit

Seen a nigga that I know, talked a lil' shit

Leavin' out the mall, hit up Ant, that's the brodie

Tryna' put somethin' in the air, know he got the dodi

Aquemini, bumpin' number twelve, "SpottieOttie"

Pulled up to my nigga crib, sippin' on a Forty

Smoked out the garage, tryna come up with a plan

On how to put some monies in our motherfuckin' hands

Already copped the pounds, sold every last gram

Now right back where we started is exactly where we stand

We even hit a lick, but that shit ain't go as planned

Never touch crack, can't get caught servin' yams

'Cause nigga I be damned if I see the chain gang

We just out here, we just out here tryna' maintain


[Chorus]

Me and all my bros straight hangin' (Straight hangin')

Junkie's lurkin' 'cause the dope man stay slangin' (Stay slangin')

Fools twistin' fingers, yeah them niggas gang bangin' (Gang bangin')

Everybody doin' somethin', we just out here maintainin' (Ma-maintainin')

My nigga we just tryna' maintain (Tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain, tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain)

Keep it G and never change lanes

We just tryna' maintain (Tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain, tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain)

I hope you niggas on the same thing


[Verse 2]

Now I'm a little older with an '01 Impala

Ain't shit changed 'cause the motive still the dollar

Niggas four deep, straight hangin' with the bros

Ridin' through the AUC, lookin' for the hoes

We just gettin' high, tryna' balance out the lows

Talkin' hella shit, even kicked a couple flows

Pulled up on a bitch, yeah that body looked right

Twelve got behind us, flashed the blue lights

Damn, Mr. Officer, you're fuckin' up my buzz

Why'd you pull me over sir? He said, "Just because"

Sat us on the curb and said, "Don't nobody run"

Searchin' through my car for the drugs and the guns

Found a lil' roach, took our ass straight to jail

Just another Saturday in the ATL

Moral of the story, don't be chasin' after hoes

Better chase this money nigga, you know how it goes


[Chorus]

Me and all my bros straight hangin' (Straight hangin')

Junkie's lurkin' 'cause the dope man stay slangin' (Stay slangin')

Fools twistin' fingers, yeah them niggas gang bangin' (Gang bangin')

Everybody doin' somethin', we just out here maintainin' (Ma-maintainin')

My nigga we just tryna' maintain (Tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain, tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain)

Keep it G and never change lanes

We just tryna' maintain (Tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain, tryna maintain, we just tryna maintain)

I hope you niggas on the same thing
